I'm jealous of both of you - I'm on liquids for 3 weeks total. After two weeks I can add in yogurt. I miss chewing! Though my popsicles help a little.

You're not kidding! I am not an all night stomach sleeper, but for some reason it's how I always fall asleep. When did your Dr. say you could go back to it? I think mine said 2 weeks. I'll have to ask him at my post op follow up appointment on Friday.

Had my first post op appointment with my surgeon today! I weighed in on his scale at 226! I was 242 at my last pre op appointment about 2.5 weeks ago! He said I'm healing really well, cleared me to drive again (woo hoo!) and said I can start moderate exercise! I started pureed foods today and had some cottage cheese and a little egg drop Soup. I go back in 3 weeks and he said he expects me to have lost at least another 10lbs by then. Hope everyone is doing well!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
